Verse 26

या देवी सर्वभूतेषु भ्रान्तिरूपेण संस्थिता। नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥ २६ ॥

yā dēvī sarvabhūtēṣu bhrāntirūpēṇa saṁsthitā | namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namō namaḥ || 26 ||

Translation

To the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of delusion: salutation to her, salutation to her, salutation to her, salutation again and again.

Word by word

yā dēvī
the Goddess who
sarvabhūtēṣu
in all beings
bhrāntirūpēṇa
in the form of delusion
saṁsthitā
dwells
namaḥ tasyai
salutation to her
namō namaḥ
salutation again and again

Meaning

The last of the refrain is the most daring: she is bhrānti, error and delusion too. Nothing in beings, not even their bewilderment, lies outside her.
